What a great day! Today was a blessed day. The most happiest thing happened today was that two hosts, that I applied for, officially accepted my offers. I sent them offers about a week ago, and both of them replied to me with positive answer, yet, it wasn't really a confirmation and they asked me to write them more about me, so I replied them immediately with excitement. However, they didn't answer me after five days past, but I didn't want to push them because I knew they might be just very busy so I waited until today, and finally, I sent them a message, and then soon after I sent them messages, they replied me with acceptance. It was the best feeling! So now, my travel plan for the next 6 months are fixed. I'm going to visit 8 countries and stay with 6 hosts. There's another reason that made my day. The host has been away since this morning so the job was enjoyable.

Ironing day This is my last week here. I have only four working days to go. it is going to be not busy whole week so I suppose I can finish working early everyday. Today, my task was only to do dishes and ironing lots of sheets, which are very easy but also kind of fun, because I could listening to music while ironing and now, I'm already relaxing in my room. I appreciate this slow relaxing day.

Silence It's been a tough week. A volunteer, who was supposed to stay here until next month, has gone back to her country due to a family issue. And now, I am the only person staying here as volunteer. moreover, the chef, who is a nice person, is on her holiday until the day I leave. Which means, basically, I will be working by myself almost everyday and I will have no one to talk to. Besides, the host here obviously does not like to communicate with people. (Even he did, I wouldn't enjoy chatting with him.) What’s more, I have not much food to eat since we have less customers this week and next week. I've been eating leftovers. But, fortunately, I just have to hang in there for another week.

The principle of one week I've moved so many times in my life and I never lived by myself. Even though I have lots of experience immersing myself into new environment, I still tend to get nervous and scared to do it every time. However, I noticed that most of the time, I get used to it after a week and it gets easier or even very fun. And this time was exactly the same. I've been here a week and I got the hang of it. I remember first three days here, I felt so lonely but, it pretty much eased now.

Planning I've been planning my travel to Morocco this weekend. It is going to be my first time to go to Africa continent. I don't like to plan too much beforehand however, I need to book buses andc hostels since it will be cheaper and I don't want to waste my time to look for accommodations. It Is still two months away but, I am so excited to see the exotic country and be in a dessert. I am also a bit scared to travel by myself especially because I don't speak neither Arabic nor French, it should be hard sometimes. I just hope everything is going to be great.

We only live once Sometimes, I realise how blessed I am to experience immersing myself in different cultures when I hear people speaking languages which is not my native language. It's of course not only about language that I can learn, their food, common senses, life style, personality, even humor is different. These experiences have changed me a lot. I hope I can take advantage of it for my future and next generation.

First day of my work My job today was helping the kitchen, setting the table, serving meals and cleaning. I guess everyday should be like this. But the job is not hard at all than its sound. This morning, our chef came almost an hour late so I just had to wait until she came and it was not pleasant moment because today was my first day and the room I was waiting in was quite cold. Anyway, it is better to have someone talk to than just staying in my room alone. There's another volunteer who is from Italy and she seems a happy and considerate person so I'm pretty content with this place so far.

Facing myself I arrived to my next stop yesterday. I am going to stay this place for the next three weeks. it is located in a very isolated area so I can go nowhere without someone driving me to the bus stop. besides, I have my own room and they do not eat together, so I did not get to talk to anyone today. I feel very lonely here. I am hoping that tomorrow will be fun.

Saying goodbye My good friend left here this morning. This is kind of a downside of traveling that you always have partings. (Well, people experience lots of partings in their lives though.) But you cannot always meet great people or get along with everyone. You would not feel lonely or sad if the person is not important for you. So, I should be happy to have those people in my life and look forward to meeting them in the future somewhere in the world. This is pretty exciting.(Yet, I still feel a bit empty.) Since I started to travel, the world seems to be small. Traveling to Europe used to be such a big deal to me but now it is not. I am looking forward to meet my friends I met during my travel again!!
